This one is aimed at high winds from NW & light hills hence, Anti-clockwise via direct route to Chester, heading for the Greenway, but via the canal path, through Chester & past the flat for something different & protection.
Then cross the Dee at Saltney via Blacon. That allows me to take in the climb up the “Old Warren” & cross the main road for a nice set of lanes, with the wind, all the way to Holt. So there options on cafe’s like Acorn or Cleopatra’s. Then home via Wetreins lane ,Tilstonand up Brown knowl, around Harthill to Tattenhall.
Not the best route for minimising the NW headwinds, as the bit around ‘Chocks Away cafe & the ‘Old Warren’ is a bit exposed & in to wind.

Can make this even more suited to North westerlies, by taking the park trail through Huntington and on to the canal tow path in order to get up through Hoole to the Greenway. And then come off at Blacan, with the wind to Saltney ferry crossing.. it would add 2 miles-ish

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
